I’m sure this has been asked before, but recommendations for a beach/pool tote? We had one and lost it, and they stopped making it, so now I’m looking for a replacement. I need it to be big enough for towels/swim stuff/snacks for a family of 5. I’m not sure I can handle the bags that look like giant Crocs.
Leaning into summer updates: Have decided the days I WFH and don’t have a hard start at work, I’m letting the kids “sleep in” before camp + daycare begins and committing to unrushed mornings. During the school year we have to be out of the door at 7:10 AM, so I figure why not lean in. Today we left at *gasp* a bit after 8 AM and I feel like everyone was happier.
How do you know when it is time to start looking for a new daycare?
I was the poster a few weeks ago who worried that my daycare was out of ratio during drop-off time. They seem to have fixed that issue, but by having staff working really long days (some of the same staff members are present when I drop-off and pick-up over 9 hours apart).
And now, they have moved around the classrooms to open one of the rooms up for a summer camp program. My daughter is 22 months old and in the 1 year old room. They have moved them down to the same large room as the infants — there is a half wall between two spaces and then a shared area so it is technically considered two rooms, but it is not like sound stops at a half wall. I’m annoyed because they only told us one days before the move. And I’m annoyed that my almost two year old will now effectively be in a room with a total of 16 kids, even if they are keeping the classes separate.
But, as much as the administration annoys me, I really like her teachers. And my daughter seems to really like her teachers. Is it worth making her adjust to a new daycare over these changes? And she would only be in the new daycare for one year, before moving to public preschool. On the other hand, we are trying for a second and would be more likely to get a seat at a new daycare for the infant if we moved our daughter now and I would be even madder about these changes if my daughter was an infant. (But the second may not come before she starts public preschool in August 2026, so we may not get sibling preference either way). That was a long way of saying, I just don’t know what to do.
Does anyone have tips for getting a toddler to stop excessive nail biting? We’ve tried the foul tasting nail polish, which was moderately effective at first but seems to be less impactful to her now. We’ve tried bribes. We’ve gotten her other chewy toys to have in her mouth, we’ve provided comfort stuffed animals all day and at school. She is a very young 3, and has been doing this since 2.5 and it is at least partially an anxiety/overwhelm reaction but now also seems to be that she just doesn’t like to have nails? Our pediatrician didn’t have any good tips for kids this young. She fully bit away a vertical strip of one nail the other week.
